Cardinals Release Week 1 Depth Chart
TEMPE -- The Arizona Cardinals are now full steam into their week of practice ahead of their Week 1 prep against the Washington Commanders, and now we have our first depth charts prepared by the team ahead of Sunday.
Offense
Talk will (rightfully so) be centric to who Arizona will start at quarterback between Josh Dobbs or Clayton Tune on Sunday. With Jonathan Gannon stating the Cardinals won't name a starter ahead of time in the sake of "competitive advantage", the team listed Josh Dobbs first with the "OR" following before Tune's name on the depth chart.
Dobbs is believed to be the favorite to earn starting duties come Sunday thanks to his experience with Drew Petzing's offense.
No surprises on the offensive side of the ball, as everybody appears to be healthy and the Cardinals will roll out the expected starters through the offensive line and WR corps.
Zach Ertz is still considered to be questionable ahead of Sunday as he works his way back from an ACL injury. We'll know more tomorrow when injury reports are first released.
Defense
It appears we know who won the CB battle opposite of Marco Wilson, as Kei'Trel Clark is listed as the starting corner over Christian Matthew. Matthew joins Antonio Hamilton in second-string duties.
Josh Woods has also won the battle at ILB next to Kyzir White after duking it out with Krys Barnes in training camp/preseason play. Dennis Gardeck - named as one of six Cardinals captains this year - will get the start at OLB opposite of Zaven Collins.
Arizona's defensive line appears as expected with L.J. Collier, Leki Fotu and Jonathan Ledbetter all getting starting nods.
